Over the years I have managed to collect five of her books, and read 2 others (courtesy the library). After that I kept an eye out for anything else by Erma, at that stage (in the late 1980’s) she had published 8 books but they were difficult to find in Australia. In fact I think it was probably the first book that actually made me laugh out loud. I hadn’t really read anything by a humourist before and I wasn’t expecting to find much in a book written by an old (from my perspective), American housewife amusing but I did. I’m not sure how old I was when I stumbled across one of Erma Bombeck’s books, The Grass Is Always Greener over the Septic Tank, in a second hand bookstore though I think I was maybe in my mid teens.
